Answer:

95 minutes

Explanation:

According to N.A.S.A, the Hubble Space Telescope makes one orbit around Earth every 95 minutes.

"The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 547 kilometers (340 miles) above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels about 5 miles per second: That is like traveling from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast in 10 minutes. Hubble is solar-powered.

Hubble takes sharp pictures of objects in the sky such as planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has made more than one million observations. These include detailed pictures of the birth and death of stars, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet pieces crashing into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Scientists have learned a lot about the universe from these pictures. Many of them are beautiful to look at."

The Hubble's orbital period is 95 minutes.

The telescope has been in service for 29 years and it's now at an orbital altitude of about 335 miles.

How can this sandstone become an igneous rock?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:Extreme pressure from burial, increasing temperature at depth, and a lot of time, can alter any rock type to form a metamorphic rock. If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten (magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock.

You are sitting on the beach and wondering about the properties of mechanical waves. Describe them in terms of ocean waves.
Rudiy27

Answer:

The ocean waves is a mechanical wave that transmits mechanical energy in the wave by the synchronized and repeated oscillation of the waters about an equilibrium level such that as the wave approaches the shoreline, and the water depth decreases, the height of the wave also increases reflecting the effective transmission of energy while the medium which is the water through which the wave propagates, move back and forth within a small region

Explanation:

A mechanical wave like other waves is the oscillation of a field about an equilibrium level. In mechanical waves, the field consists of the oscillating matter such that the wave transmits energy through a medium. The displacement of the medium through which the wave energy is limited such that the wave energy is conserved to travel far.
